Conversation between Felicity, the uncontrolled one, and Viola
I can’t get up, remember? My ankles twisted

Viola, horrified, SY
Duke: she wanted you to have an ample retirement package.
Now that is a trope that is very rarely ever used

The séance is interrupted by the appearance of the Mooorcliff ghost. during a thunderstorm and upsetting the Ouija board. They all chase after the apparition.

Felicity: I feared that would happen. She’s like a deer; one Russell in the under brush and she takes off.
